Description

Note: “Detect Thin Walls”  May need to be enabled if printing a wall width the same as your nozzle width.

All cubes are 20mm x 20mm externally. 

Cube perimeters and base are the same respective size. 

For example, the 0.6mm cube's walls are 0.6mm in width and the base is 0.6mm in height.

The hollow core allows a caliper to be inserted to test printed width and accuracy. 

The exposed base also allows visual inspection of the top layer.

Each cube is about ½ gram to print (or less). Quick and cheap.

(Example Optional Uses)

  • Use the 0.8mm cube to test multiple walls for a 0.4mm/0.2mm nozzle. 
  • Use the 0.4mm cube & 0.4mm nozzle to test dimensional accuracy of a single wall. (What's in the slicer vs. what actually gets printed)
  • Print various sized cubes to test Arachne for a single nozzle.
  • Test Seams by painting them on the middle of one wall and use to test Scarf Joints or other joints.

The possibilities are endless!

I recommend the calculator here if you're testing wall accuracy:

Teaching Tech 3D Printer Calibration (teachingtechyt.github.io)

 

*NOTE: These should help increase print accuracy…not necessarily print quality. Use calibrations as the base line and adjust as needed after visual inspection.
